There are also recent hotfixes and 6.2.4 posts, as well as Wowhead Weekly #69.\r\r\r\rWowhead Weekly\rWowhead Weekly #69 covers the latest alpha build, new models and battle pet updates, Love is in the Air, and the new Blizzard Fashion Collection.\r\r\r\rWowhead Weekly is a World of Warcraft podcast with Wowhead Site Manager Perculia and Video Manager TradeChat where all the recent Blizzard news and Wowhead developments are discussed.

This mount is BoP currently and requires 800 Leatherworking.\r\rThe recent Legion build changed the to Harnais de monte de noble-bois instead. The related spell to summon the crafted mount is Grand noble-bois du Nord, which uses one of the new moose icons. There are four possible colors using this model, hopefully all of them will make it to Legion as mounts.\r\r\r \r \r \r \r\r\rRacial Leaders\rThis next part contains spoiler info on which NPCs rule over their respective cities in Legion. Some of this lore has been known since early alpha, but the recent build added the new NPCs for several cities. Hit the spoiler button to see the screenshots, and use spoiler tags when discussing this in the comments.\rIn the quest , we learn that Varian is dead and Vol'jin is missing in action. The replacement leaders are Anduin Wrynn in Stormwind and Haut seigneur Saurcroc in Orgrimmar.\r\r\r\r\rIn we learn that Sylvanas is now acting as the Warchief, a role which she appears to embrace in her datamined Legion audio files.\r\rIn addition, Forsaken Guards are now found in the Horde area of Dalaran.\r\r\r\r\r\rBlue Posts\r\rBug Fixes\rCreatures and NPCs\r\r Fixed an issue that could cause Mahka, a quest NPC in Southern Barrens to become unresponsive.\r\rRaids and Dungeons\r\rSommet du pic Rochenoire: Fixed a situation on Challenge Mode and Mythic Difficulty that could cause Ragevolée l’Indomptable's Flammes enveloppantes ability to be unavoidable.\r\rAchievements\r\rT'as une belle robe, tu sais: Fixed an issue that could cause players to not correctly receive credit for completing this achievement.\r \r\r\r\r\rGreetings everyone,\rI wanted to provide some insight into the 6.2.4 patch and hopefully, answer outstanding questions you may have regarding features and areas to test.\r\rIn 6.2.4 World of Warcraft will transition to a new Battle.net infrastructure. While this infrastructure change contains a multitude of backend improvements for communication between WoW and Battle.net, there are also a number of changes that will directly affect you. It is our goal to make sure these changes don't negatively impact existing systems, and functionality remains as it was prior to this migration.\r\rTo help us with this task, we'd like PTR testers to focus on the following areas:\r\r Social features, including whispers between characters, different Blizzard games, the Battle.net app and other in-game characters.\r Realm List functionality.\r Authentication, logging in, and security features.\r Parental controls.\r 3rd party add-on functionality.\r In-game shop functionality.\r Character Boosts.\r Faction, Race, and Name changes.\rDevelopment for patch 6.2.4 is ongoing so there may be issues during testing regarding things like logging in and selecting realms. Random disconnects from Battle.net may also occur. It is important that things of this nature are reported in the forums to help ensure a resolution before 6.2.4 goes live.\r\rI hope this provides a little more insight into what PTR testers should be on the lookout for in this patch. Thank you all for helping to make World of Warcraft an epic experience time and time again!

I fee like the only one that's worried about Sylvanas being (hopefully temporary) Warchief, although she is capable of leading, lets not forget what she's done to get her way;

She nearly broke lor'themar's are and threatened to pull her forces from ghostlands if he didn't help her She went against Garrosh's demand to stop the production of her plague just to attack gilneas She forced Koltira back into undercity just because of his friendship with Thassarian and made him more "Loyal" She was willing to raise Lor'themar and his rangers(horde SoO) She had nathanos ransack a lodge that would later accuse lor'themar of ordering the attack(she pretty much hates him)sources: In the shadow of the Sun(novel), Worgen starting zone questline, Battle for Andorhal, Siege of Orgrimmar horde side(when you arrive at durotar)

I get that people feel bad for her, but that Is no excuse for her to act the way she has, I used to have sympathy for her but after a while I pretty much became annoyed that the other horde leaders sees what she's doing but refuses to react.

I don't know if you consider everything above as spoilers

Wait... let me clarify some things

-Garrosh forced the Forsaken to invade Gilneas and tried to take all their main weapons from them cause he wanted the Forsaken dead (They could not just say no to the invasion of Gilneas cause Garrosh said if they didn't they will face the Horde -so they will be figthing 2 enemies, the alliance and the Horde, Cata was a simple representation of a cornered beasts)

-Koltiras betrayed the Horde when he allied with the Alliance (they were in middle of a conflict and his action only costed the Horde more lifes -they almost lost that fight thanks to him, in most places Koltiras would have been killed for treason)

Interesting to see the leader changes but I'm still not buying Varian's death. He'd have to be decapitated, a hole blasted through his chest, and incinerated for me to believe he's dead. Sylvanas could bring him back as her new lieutenant to replace Nathanos if he just died. Otherwise, he could just fake his death or just be severely injured and is recovering out of sight only to make a comeback later.\r\rIt's WoW. Just because something died doesn't mean they're dead. Onyxia, Nefarian, Bolvar, Saurfang Jr., Kael'thas, Magni, Illidan, Archimonde, and Vanessa van Cleef all say hi. Blizzard can easily leave Varian's death vague and bring him back as a "surprise" later on. Or they can just leave him dead.\r\rWith the moose, that blanket ON the saddle is a hazard. Saddle leather tends to be rather smooth (especially as the saddle wears) so a blanket would slide right off if it was on top unless it was tied on somehow. That blanket on the moose just sits there. The moose rears up and you'll tumble off the rump onto your rear or even your head, then you have to hope the moose doesn't kick you thus killing you. That is if the moose doesn't do a serpentine move with you on it and cause you to fly off the side instead.\r\rI seriously have to wonder if Blizzard ever considers PRACTICALITY. Blizzard really needs to send their artists and animators on a retreat to actually observe how animals really look, move, and how you ride them. Good artists are really perceptive and will see details others miss. That can make the difference between a good artist and a great one. Blizzard must have some crappy artists\/animators if they keep failing at basic things like tack (saddles and bridles) and movement.\r\rAnd that's just my issue with the saddle. Never mind my issues with the animations which are wrong. Moose don't walk or run like the way Blizzard animates them.

If you ever get the feeling you wanna play again, you still have around 6 months to get the moose :)

Varok Saurfang is Vol'jin's (temporary) replacement? Yeah, Alliance may just get their Black War Bears now while they still can. His cleave will keep Orgrimmar save for the upcoming expansion ;)

I like how this moose's tail doesn't clip through its butt when it walks like the Archimonde one. I wish they'd fix that.

I am still hoping they take profession restrictions off of mounts, as well as let us use pvp mounts on all toons of the same faction that earned them (vicious mounts, and if they are restricted, arena mounts too). Basically you need the proff to earn\/learn the mount but after that all your toons can ride it.

Too add to it, I believe Sylvanas only said she would raise Lor'themar, and his rangers, only if they fell during SoO.

FOR THE DARK LADY!\r\rPeople have a selective memory with Sylvanas. They like to nitpick things she does, while ignoring the circumstances she was in when making those choices. And they have a really selective memory when comparing her understandable actions to the widespread slavery, war crimes, and genocide perpetrated by other factions. As much as I love Vol'jin and Cairne, she's my favorite leader and I would love to see her take a more prominent role in the game.\r\rUnfortunately, knowing Blizzard this is just an excuse for them to make another woman go crazy\/evil and then get relegated to the sidelines\/fridged.\r

For me the big question is, IF Vol'Gin comes back, will Sylvanas be willing to give the Warchief title back?
